You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

Help please<br>solve for x​
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: x= 47 (If that says 3x+2)(the picture is a little blurry)

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pairs of angles sum to 180.

37+(3x+2) =180

Combine like terms

39+ 3x = 180

Subtract 39 from both sides

3x = 141

Divide both sides by 3

x= 47

What is the mean in 74,75,80,76,75,81,78?
Alina [70]

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers together, then divide them to how much numbers are there.

74 + 75 + 80 + 76 + 75 + 81 + 78 = 539

Since there are 7 numbers, you divide 539 by 7.

539/7 = 77

Dakota’s parents are creating her practice ballet studio and want to install baseboards around the perimeter of the rectangular
kherson [118]

1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3  12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4   The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3  P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft  = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7  You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.
